Hello all.

I just had some work done recently on my wagon. 190,xxx. It was leaking oil from the front of the engine onto the timing belt. The timing belt was changed, as well as the front cam seals, front crank seal (kit) and the oil changed while they had the car.

When I got the car back and drove off I noticed high amount of clicking coming from the engine. I got gas at a station and revved the car while sitting still to try and get rid of the clicking to no avail. The oil level was perfect on the dipstick.
I drove home (low and third gear) revving the car pretty high (3k-4k) to try and get what I guess was a valve un-stuck. At one point, when I manually down shifted, a good bit of what looked like oil came flying out of my tailpipe. After this the clicking went away but now I fear I'm burning oil.

I can't reason out why it would burn oil now, but that plume of smoke scared me. It hasn't noticeably smoked since, though it smells like oil now after I drive it. That could be due to them cleaning the engine and spreading some of the spilled oil from the engine onto the muffler or something. I dunno.

Was the clicking normal after a job like this? My mechanic told me she couldn't test drive it after the job because it had no gas and she had no cash at the moment to fill it up and such. I don't know if she ever did test drive it.

Thanks all.
